This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don't see the issue in quoting works of fiction if you think they express something you're trying to say. People quote Shakespeare all the time to make a point but nobody cares because that's old and accepted. No I'm not saying Gladiator is on a level with Shakespeare but there's a weird imbalance in what you're allowed to quote in your argument and what not. If the imagery spoke to him, why not?
Point taken. I will admit I have been more critical given I don't believe this is real.
Otherwise the whole of marxism would be off limits
